Overview
GraphRAG is an open-source data pipeline and research implementation from Microsoft for improving retrieval-augmented generation with structured knowledge extracted from unstructured text. It uses LLMs to transform source material into graph-oriented representations that can help models reason about entities, relationships, communities, and broader themes in private datasets.
Instead of relying only on conventional chunk retrieval, GraphRAG builds knowledge structures that can support questions requiring connections across many pieces of information. The repository includes indexing and query workflows, command-line tooling, configuration, prompt-tuning guidance, and migration notes. Because graph extraction uses LLM calls, the maintainers warn that indexing can be expensive and recommend starting with small datasets and tuning prompts for the target domain.
GraphRAG is aimed at researchers and developers working with complex corpora where ordinary semantic retrieval may miss global relationships or multi-hop context. The code is presented as a methodology and demonstration rather than a formally supported Microsoft product, making it especially useful for experimentation, evaluation, and building customized graph-based RAG systems.

Overview
The GraphRAG project is a data pipeline and transformation suite that is designed to extract meaningful, structured data from unstructured text using the power of LLMs.
To learn more about GraphRAG and how it can be used to enhance your LLM's ability to reason about your private data, please visit the Microsoft Research Blog Post.
Quickstart
To get started with the GraphRAG system we recommend trying the command line quickstart.
Repository Guidance
This repository presents a methodology for using knowledge graph memory structures to enhance LLM outputs. Please note that the provided code serves as a demonstration and is not an officially supported Microsoft offering.
⚠️ Warning: GraphRAG indexing can be an expensive operation, please read all of the documentation to understand the process and costs involved, and start small.

Prompt Tuning
Using GraphRAG with your data out of the box may not yield the best possible results. We strongly recommend to fine-tune your prompts following the Prompt Tuning Guide in our documentation.
Versioning
Please see the breaking changes document for notes on our approach to versioning the project.
Always run graphrag init --root [path] --force between minor version bumps to ensure you have the latest config format. Run the provided migration notebook between major version bumps if you want to avoid re-indexing prior datasets. Note that this will overwrite your configuration and prompts, so backup if necessary.
